Home prices in Ladner and Tsawwassen are experiencing a noticeable easing, a trend that is beginning to draw more buyers back into the Metro Vancouver market. This shift follows a challenging first half of the year for real estate sales, with August data indicating a slow but steady recovery.
Greater Vancouver Realtors (GVR) reported a 2.9 percent rise in residential sales across Metro Vancouver in August 2025 compared to August 2024. Despite this uptick, sales activity remains 19.2 percent below the 10-year seasonal average. Andrew Lis, GVR's director of economics and data analytics, noted that the figures suggest a recovery is underway, with detached and attached home sales showing a more than 10 percent increase year-over-year, indicating renewed buyer interest in higher price points.
Prices have softened by about two percent year-to-date and one percent from July to August. This indicates sellers are becoming more amenable to price reductions. The total inventory of homes on the MLS system in Metro Vancouver is up 17.6 percent from August 2024, and 36.9 percent above the 10-year seasonal average.
In Ladner, the benchmark price for a single-detached house in August 2025 was $1,381,600, a 2.5 percent decrease from the previous month and a 2.4 percent drop from August 2024. Tsawwassen saw its benchmark price for a detached house at $1,513,800, down just over one percent from July and over seven percent from August 2024.
Townhouse prices also reflected this trend. Ladner townhouses had a benchmark price of $1,027,500 in August 2025, remaining nearly unchanged from the prior year. Tsawwassen townhouses, however, saw a decrease of almost five percent from August 2024, with a benchmark price of $966,900 last month.
Condominium prices in both Ladner and Tsawwassen also experienced declines compared to the previous year, with benchmark prices recorded at $654,700 and $632,700, respectively.
